Arabella's Pov

I lay down as far as the chain would allow me to lay. Idonea had a look of guilt on her face. I lay my head down on my small paws until I saw her getting closer and closer. My head quickly snapped up to watch her as I saw her sitting down beside me. She patted her lap as if to say 'come here.'

For some reason I trusted her. I moved to her and lay on my side with my head in her lap whimpering. "I know, sweatpea. I know." She was combing her slender fingers through my fur. She spoke as if she was a mother trying to calm a pup.

"Arabella?" She called my name making me look up at her. "When I turned eighteen I was sold to Rhonen's father. Even though he was not my mate. He was mean at first and kept me locked up, but after a bit he softened. I promise things will get better. My son may seem rude and uncaring at first, but I assure you he's very sweet. Now, my dear, you must sleep. I'm sure you're exhausted and Rhonen won't be back for a while." She smiled down at me warmly making me feel safe.

I lay there as my eyes started to flutter close and I let myself finally fall asleep. The last thing I heard was the clanging of metal before I was picked up and placed somewhere much warmer.
